Ex-CoNFEDERATE CANDIDATES.
No fewer than four of the gentlemen
who are mentioned as likely candidates
for the succession of Judge Woods, of
the Supreme Court are ex-Confederates
who made an appeal to arms against
the authority of the tribunal to which
they aspire. Doubtless these gentlemen
have a vastly stronger belief in the
durability of the Constitution now than
in 1850.

The Canadians are evidently growing

10 the conclusion that she extrAdition
